Ireland Travel Review: Scenery, Architecture, History, Aran...

Zicasso's travel planners were great to work with, giving us great flexibility in tailoring our tour exactly the way we wanted it. They offered us good options for the activities we were interested in (sheep farm, falconry experience), fitting them within our schedule.

The schedule worked very well for us, striking the right balance between checking all the places we wanted to see and activities we wanted to experience, and giving us just the right amount of relaxation time in between. We brought back wonderful memories from our trip!

Ireland Tour Review: Bru Na Boinne Burial Grounds, Rock...

We had a great trip to Ireland! I appreciated how Zicasso's travel company helped plan the trip, listening to where I thought we wanted to go and making suggestions to create the trip plan. All of the guides and drivers did well and we enjoyed getting to know them.

Even though the weather did not cooperate for several days, we enjoyed seeing other sights. We also enjoyed all of the hotels we stayed at. Overall, the travel company did an excellent job and we would use them again!

Ireland Travel Review: 1-Month Trip

This was a fantastic trip from the very start (planning stage) to the finish (arriving home). Every detail was thoroughly thought out, planned, and well executed. Zicasso's travel agency was by far the best travel company I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Our agents stayed on top of everything.

Ireland Vacation Review: Dublin, Rock of Cashel, Blarney...

This Ireland trip was absolutely incredible. Our family of 13 ranged from three to 70 years old and we loved it so much. Working with Zicasso’s travel agent was so easy. During the planning stage, she accommodated my calls and emails, executing perfectly on a flawless itinerary.

We loved starting out in Dublin and then traveling to the stunning Irish countryside by way of private driver. We saw so much, from the Rock of Cashel to the Blarney Stone, the English market in Cork, and the café in Cork, which was a highlight for us!

Our absolute favorite accommodation was our lodge in County Kerry, which was a stunning property that took our experience to the next level.

The Gap of Dunloe and Cliffs of Moher were two of our favorite tours.

The travel company handled all the logistics with precision! Every transfer, tour, and activity was meticulously planned, allowing my family and me to fully immerse without worry. And our guide/driver, well, he was the absolute best. He became the 14th family member by the end of our eight-day road trip together!
